Life and art are not two different things. Felix Mendelssohn

Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)A German Romantic composer, pianist and conductor, Felix

Mendelssohn was also an enormously talented and versatile performer. He was the grandson of the famous Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, who strongly promoted Jewish assimilation into German culture and society. Mendelssohn’s father converted the family to the Lutheran faith when Felix was a young boy.

A musical prodigy, Mendelssohn championed the music of J.S. Bach in the 19th century. Although he was only 38 when he died, he managed to distinguish himself as oneofthemostsignificantRomanticcomposersofthe1800s.Theappealofhisworkshas not dwindled in the 21st century. Mendelssohn, a composer of lyricism, melody andpassion,remainseventodayafiguretoberediscovered.

Surprisingly little attention has been paid to Mendelssohn’s smaller sacred works, on texts associated with the Anglican, Catholic and Lutheran traditions. They include a series of choral cantatas, inspired equally by Mendelssohn’s admiration for the music of Bach (whose St. Matthew Passion he famously revived in Berlin in 1829 at the age of 20!) and by his love of Martin Luther’s hymns.

Over the course of his career, Mendelssohn devoted nineteen entire compositions tosettingofpsalmtexts,fiveofthemwithorchestralaccompaniment.Thisisnotsurprising given the deeply personal nature of the psalm texts themselves, and that the psalms are the only biblical texts clearly conceived as musical compositions.

Psalm 42 (1837)Mendelssohn wrote Psalm 42 in the spring of 1837 while he and his bride Cécile were on their honeymoon near Freiburg. Usually a severe self-critic, Mendelssohn’s enthusiasm for this work was exceptional and long lasting. In numerous correspondences with friends, his sister Fanny and publishers, he often described it as his “very best sacred composition.” This assessment is all the more striking given that Psalm 42 was composed immediately on the heels of the oratorio St. Paul.

Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 provides vivid visual and sensual imagery of the hart (stag or deer) and fresh water. Yet the motivating force behind the psalm is not their presence,

Psalm 42 represents the highest point for Mendelssohn as a composer for the

church. Indeed Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 represents the highest point recent

church music has reached at all. Robert Schumann (1837)


but their absence – an absence that represents separation from the presence of God as well as isolation. At the outset the hart cries out for fresh water, but the water only comes in the form of tears, rushing waters, waterspouts and billows.

The Psalm’s opening movement is a tapestry of rich invention. Though the character of the alto melody might lead one to expect fugal treatment, the motive begins a differentmelodiclineineachvoice.Theresultingtextureofoverlappingvocallinescoalesces again and again in a chordal statement of the text.

Thenexttwomovementsarebothariasforsoprano—thefirst,slowandlyricalwith a plangent oboe melody in counterpoint—the second lively, declamatory, and supported by a three-part women’s choir. The fanfare-like fourth movement for full choir “Why so sorrowful, my soul?” with its repeated cry “Harre auf Gott!” “Wait for the Lord!” anticipates the music of Mendelssohn’s Lobgesang Symphony.

The central movement, both musically and textually, is the Quintet, presenting the psychological distress in the solo soprano simultaneously with the reassuring triumphalism of the male solo quartet. Characterized by wide leaps and angular melodic lines, the soprano repeatedly exclaims, “My God, within me is my soul cast down, while the quartet steadfastly sings in mostly conjunct, diatonic, closely voiced harmonies. The centrality of this movement led to Mendelssohn’s assertion “if the Quintet doesn’t succeed, then the whole will not succeed.”

ThefinalmovementdrawsuponvirtuosicHandeliancounterpoint(melodiesinconjunction with one another) that had recently found tremendous success in Mendelssohn’s oratorio St. Paul.

Unashamedly operatic in form, Rossini’s Stabat Mater for four soloists, chorus and orchestra, displays

all the hallmarks of Rossini’s genius.

Gioacchino rossini (1792-1868)Rossini occupied an unrivalled position in the Italian musical

world of his time, winning considerable success relatively early in his career. The son of a horn-player and a mother who made a career for herself in opera, as a boy he had direct experience of operatic performance, both in the orchestra pit and on stage. Hisoperasfromhisfirstrelativesuccessin1810until1823werefirstperformedinItaly.TherefollowedaperiodofsuccessinParis,leadingtohisfinalopera,Guillaume Tell,stagedinParisin1829.Therevolutionof1830preventedthefulfillmentofFrench royal commissions for the theatre, but in his later life he continued to enjoy considerable esteem, both in Paris, where he spent much of his last years, and in his nativeItaly.Therehespenttheyearsfrom1837until1855,beforereturningfinallytoFrance, where he died in 1868.

Program Notes


James McCormick, PhD

stabat Mater (1842)As an internationally known Italian composer of thirty-six operas—including his two blockbusters William Tell and The Barber of Seville—Rossinimovedinadifferentmusical direction later in life to create his dramatic setting of the 13th century devotional poem Stabat Mater.

The text of the Stabat Mater, ascribed to Jocapone da Todi, a 13th century Italian monk, is thought to have originated from Franciscan sources. The poem describes theVirginMary’svigilatthecrucifixionofhersonJesus.OriginallytheStabat Mater was meant for private reading, or praying, with the original melody based on Gregorian chant.

The poem is made up of 20 stanzas of 3 lines respectively comprising eight, eight and seven syllables. Each pair of stanzas rhymes according to the scheme AAB CCB. The rhythm of all lines is trochaic.

The Stabat Mater functioned for some time in the catholic liturgy as a sequence, i.e., additional text that was highly embellished musically and inserted in the Mass between the Alleluia and Gospel. It was often sung on the Friday before Palm Sunday in Lent. In the 12th century, the sequence established itself as an independent piece in which music and text were closely related, and, as such, it became one of the most influentialofalltheliteraryandmusicalformsoftheMiddleAges.

Composers of the Stabat Mater abound throughout the ages of musical history. Some of the best-known include those written by Desprez, Haydn, Pergolesi, Liszt, Penderecki, Rheinberg, Scarlatti, Schubert, Verdi, and Vivaldi. However, Rossini’s Stabat Mater, with its depth of emotion, richness of ideas, great melody, inventivenessandorchestral,choralandsoloparts,offersapowerfulsettingofthisage-old devotional poem.

In his Stabat Mater Rossini uses the full resources of his operatically-honed talents to project a religious text that, among other things, requires the maintenance of a nearly unremitting seriousness. That he was able to inject a high degree of variety into such a setting is a mark of his skill and imaginative powers.

Rossini was a man not overcome with religious fervor nor imbued with puritan ideals. Yet this man of wit and vivacity spent 10 years writing Stabat Mater, a rare non-operaticworkinhisrepertoire,aworkthatclearlyreflectshisexperienceinensemble writing in opera.

The sophistication of his vocal writing, his brilliant orchestration, and the range of his musical expression demonstrate his greatness and prove that such masterworks as The Barber of Seville exhibit only one side of Rossini’s genius. Rossini’s Stabat Mater is truly a tour de musical force for chorus, soloists and orchestra.

In 1996 he became the founding conductor of the Sacramento Choral Society & Orchestra (SCSO), the only chorus among the 12,000 community choruses in the United States to have a collective bargaining agreement with a professional orchestra. The SCSO regularly presents choral orchestral concerts in Sacramento at the Community Center Theater, Memorial Auditorium, Fremont Presbyterian Church, and the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, as well as in Davis at the Mondavi Center. Under Dr. Kendrick’s leadership, the SCSO has produced nine professionally mastered CDs and has a unique KVIE PBS documentary that is shown nationally throughout the United States.

In May 1995, he made his Carnegie Hall conducting debut in a performance of Verdi’s Requiem. In May 2003, Dr. Kendrick returned to Carnegie Hall with the SCSO to conduct a triumphantperformanceofOrff’sCarmina Burana.

In June 2013, Dr. Kendrick toured with members of the SCSO to Italy with performances at St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, in Lucca, and on the Great Altar of St. Peter’s (the Vatican) in Rome. In July 2015, he toured with SCSO members and led performances in Paris (NotreDame),Normandy(AmericanCemetery)andLondon(St.Paul’sCathedral).

In addition, Dr. Kendrick is co-founder and former artistic director of the Sacramento Children’s Chorus with conductor Lynn Stevens. The group celebrated its 20th anniversary on stage with the SCSO with a new jointly commissioned work by Randol Alan Bass for the Wells Fargo Home for the Holidays performance in December 2012.
